A 12-year-old Swiftwater boy died Saturday of an accidental hanging, Monroe County Coroner Bob Allen said.

“This was not a suicide. This was an accident,” Allen said.

Allen said Pocono Township Police investigated, but details were not available Tuesday.

Gabriel M. Crumb was a student at Pocono Mountain East Junior High School. Another Pocono Mountain student, Shelby Paige Mastrogiovanni, 9, of Blakeslee, also died unexpectedly that day of natural causes, according to Allen. She was a fourth-grade student at Tobyhanna Elementary School.

District Spokeswoman Wendy Frable said crisis response teams are in place at both schools.
